Aggressive Representation and Proven Results in Ashland OR.

Most people go through each day taking for granted that nothing bad will happen. Driving to work there is never a second thought about getting into a car accident, having a back pain or tingling limb never means a disabling diagnosis is looming, and a slight downturn in the economy doesn’t automatically create fear of job loss. Yet, these events happen to Oregon residents every day, without warning.

When your life is disrupted by tragedy, it can feel hopeless and overwhelming. In addition to the emotional and physical injury that these events cause, there is always a great deal of financial stress. Whether from a loss of wages or the constant swell of medical bills, tragedy is expensive, and insurance companies and corporate wrongdoers are committed to saving money and making sure that the victim pays.

Our attorneys specialize in life’s toughest situations

Personal Injury: Many scenarios fall into this category and each with its own obstacles to a successful outcome. Unfortunately, most of those scenarios involve battling against a large insurance company motivated to pay out as little as possible. Fortunately, our team is passionate about doing just that and helps more than 1,000 Oregon residents each year obtain personal injury settlements to help them repair and rebuild.

Worker’s Compensation: When you are an employee, you go to work and spend the required amount of time completing the required tasks. You expect your employer to provide you a safe environment within which to complete those tasks. If you are injured at work, you can file a Worker’s Compensation claim to receive benefits that will cover medical costs, loss of wages, etc. However, the process can be daunting and you are no longer dealing with your employer but, a large insurance company who doesn’t know or care about you. Our Workers’ Compensation attorneys are passionate about fighting for “the little guy” against the menacing insurance companies to secure the benefits that you deserve.

Social Security Disability: SSD is a form of insurance that you pay into via taxes from wages earned over your career. In other words, it is your money and you are entitled to benefits through the program if you become disabled and are unable to work. However, the system can be very difficult to navigate and 9 out of 10 times a first application will be denied. You need someone in your corner who knows the ins and outs of the SSD application process and can get your benefits approved. Each year, our SSD attorneys help an average of 1,000 Oregonians get the SSD benefits they are entitled to.
